(KNZA)--Hiawatha USD 415 will begin school on-site next week.
The Hiawatha School Board made that decision during a special meeting Monday morning after receiving input from local health care providers and examining guidelines created by the Kansas Department of Education.
As of Monday, the Brown County Health Department reported 62 positive COVID-19 cases to date, with 11 cases currently active in the county, including three hospitalizations.
Superintendent Lonnie Moser said they will continue to monitor the situation daily and plan so they can pivot to a hybrid or on-line learning mode should circumstances necessitate.
Following discussion, the Board also decided to implement a "ticket system" for football games and volleyball matches to limit the number of spectators so social distancing can be maintained.
The district's administrators will decide on the number of tickets to be provided to each player.
Masks will be required at volleyball matches but optional at football games except when entering and exiting the stadium.
School in USD 415 is to begin September 2 for kindergartners, 5th and 9th graders. All students will begin school September 3.
